I can no longer summarise YouTube videos. Is this a deliberate feature downgrade?

I love using the feature to summarise YouTube videos but suddenly in the last few days since the 4th of June 2025 this feature has stopped working and I'm wondering why?
If it's a matter of Voila needing more investment, let's look at a way we can buy credits from you or add our own LLM via Voila.
It's reasonable to allow us to buy £10 worth of credits for the whole year for this feature This will support the app and allow for more features for the users. However it would be totally unreasonable if this was a higher fee as most of us believed we were buying a lifetime deal.

It seems something related to the YouTube itsself not from AI apps

Hi Tim,
Thank you for reporting this issue and I apologize for the inconvenience. We made the YouTube summarization feature more reliable a few hours ago, and it should now work without issues. Could you please confirm if it’s working on your end?
Please let us know if you run into any other issues with this feature, and feel free to send any problematic YouTube video URLs to hello@getvoila.ai.
Best,
Michal

Michal unfortunately no YT video is working. I always get "Failed to fetch video transcript". Same on "using as context" and "summarize". Tested both; browser addon and Windows desktop client (pasting YT-link)

Meaty Muffin with Cheese I apologize for the issue. It should be working right now.
